Mitt is mistaken if he thinks these are U.S. values
Share with others:
Terry Jones, the Florida pastor who threatened to mark 9/11 in 2010 by burning a Quran follows through on 9/11 of this year by helping to incite anti-U.S. violence by promoting a film made by others that depicts the Prophet Muhammad as a thuggish womanizer and Muslims as homosexuals, child molesters and madmen.
Someone in the U.S. Embassy in Cairo tried to calm the situation (before any attacks had occurred) by criticizing "those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others." In response Mitt Romney said, "An apology for America's values is never the right course."
If Mitt Romney really believes that incendiary actions like those of Terry Jones and those behind this film represent "America's values," then God help us!
